Hafnia Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Williams stood off lukaku there. Been playing well - get into him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Save by Pickford/Jags. Williams is getting roasted. I'm glad to see us getting on the front foot but it will leave those old bodies exposed at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 There lies the problem with Martina. Abolsutely no pressure or tackle on Young and he gets a free cross into the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 This going to be one of those games where Williams goes completely unoticed because of a poor performance and everyone still questions his ability? Could be 4 or 5 without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 As for Rooney he's probably given the ball away the same amount of times as renato Sanches this season. Cant pass the ball 4 fucking yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Only poor performance so far is Williams. Probably the worst start I have seen us make for a long time but we have got back into. Need to stay on the front foot and take a chance of getting exposed for pace at the back.

Shukes Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Well that half was much better. Few scary moments but at least we tried to get forward. goal was just simply a great strike, couldnt stop it with two keepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 The little ive seen so far has been better that i hoped for. Which says a lot about Evertons poor form. Jags seems to provide some stability. Would like to see DCL come on soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Not bad. Better than we all thought anyway! At least we seem to be playing like a team and recognising each other's movements. I think we could safely sacrifice Sigurdsson for DCL, which would offer much more threat up top without threatening what we are doing at the back.

Hafnia Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Far from happy. This lot arent even playing well and should be 3 or 4 goals up. Somehow some on here seem to think we are doing ok.... better than thecstart but ffs that was abysmal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Just saw Valencias strike. Fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Much better from us after the goal, we looked more comfortable on the ball, and much more interested. Coco looks like a threat in a back 5 where he can get forward and not leave us exposed. Davies is almost back to his form of last year, full of running, getting forward and making some great tackles. Gana and Morgan are improved. Williams and Jags have been good at the back. Rooney is a live wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesey05 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Grown into the game. First 10 minutes just dire. Need an out ball so DCL I would like to see come on. Only 1-0 with that line up is a positive. The only other positive is that I had my 10 week old son on me watching the first 10 minutes...... I had no knock on my door from an NSPCC officer.

rubecula Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 much better performance all round, can not see us winning though, but all in all a performance that is more acceptable than other matches recently MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Where do I start... Cuco showing Baines how to play wing back. The lads legs have gone and I say it time and time again. He hasn't got it going forward anymore. Jag and Williams need to get out of each others pockets. I've never seen worse defenders at passing a simple ball. Speaking of passing, all you Gana lovers a couple of nights ago. The lads proving me and Pete right. His passing is absolute shite. A good team passes a ball to the players preferred side or in there path one the run. We can't seem to do this at any stage. ....and I know Rooney is stagnated up there but he slows play down too much. He comes short for the ball and looks for runners. In his position, he should be one of those runners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I more than feared the worst after the early goal, but we showed a lot more than in recent games after that. It's something we can build on at least. rubecula, Matt and MikeO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
